The Black Card - Chapter 986

[Chapter 984 Happy cooperation]

Shi Lei was very sure of his intention before, but when he heard the people from the auction house say this, he also felt that this seemed to be ill-considered.

It was not about the final transaction price, but that Shi Lei only considered himself and did not consider the feelings of participating in the auction and the auction house.

Such an important jadeite was auctioned in such a secretive way. There is no doubt that this is a secret investment by the pearl.

The company that wins the bid will not be satisfied. Even if they can get the jade at a relatively low price, the impact on their brand during the whole process, and even the bonus to their brand after buying the jade, will be weak. many.

And the auction house will be even less satisfied. As the person on the other end of the phone said, such a piece of jade, just bought from their auction house, is obviously not enough.

What they need is to use the entire publicity and auction process of this jade to establish the brand effect of their auction house.

Song Miaomiao obviously thought so too. She also saw Shi Lei’s hesitation, so she took the initiative and said: “Shi Lei, you really didn’t consider this matter. There are many ways to get working capital. You can even ask the auction house to You have to advance part of the payment, but you can’t let this piece of jade change hands silently. This is unfair to both the buyer and the seller, as well as the auction house. Why should people do this for you?”

Shi Lei nodded and said to The person

on the phone said, “Are you free now? How about we meet in person?”

The other party smiled. He knew that this was a sign that Shi Lei had relented, and said, “I’m free at any time, but I’m about to get off work at this time, so Well, Mr. Shi, tell me a place and I’ll find you?” “

Then you can come directly to my house. I just ordered a table of food. Come over and let’s eat something together.”

The other party laughed and said, “Okay, then I’ll Just go and bother Mr. Shi for a meal.”

“I’ll send you the address…”

Just as the call was hung up, before the address could even be sent, Qu Xingye’s call came in again.

“Master Shi…” With just two words, Shi Lei could tell that Qu Xingye was in a bad mood, probably because the phone call didn’t go well.

“Why, the communication is not smooth?”

“I made two calls in a row, and the other party said that buying such a piece of jade is not only a matter of the jade itself, but also involves many aspects. So, they all said that if you must If they insist on completing the deal tomorrow night, they will have no choice but to give up.”

Shi Lei smiled and said, “I hung up the phone just now, and I felt that I was inconsiderate. In this way, you can contact those two companies again and say, I changed my mind. . Roughly speaking, filming will start around the Spring Festival this year. However, by then, it will definitely not be just the five of them, and it cannot be filming behind closed doors.” “

Really?” Qu Xingye was overjoyed. He originally thought that Shi Lei was very good. It’s hard to change your mind.

“That’s great! In fact, they don’t care if there are only five of them. The competition between five companies will not be more fierce than that of twenty companies. They just can’t agree to shoot behind closed doors.” “

Sorry, I just thought about it. It’s not careful and makes it difficult for you.”

Qu Xingye smiled and replied: “You’re worrying too much, Mr. Shi. There’s nothing difficult for me to do. I just made two phone calls.”

Shi Lei added: “I will contact the auction house. Let’s discuss with them to see if they can advance some funds so that you can pay off the debt first. If the money is not enough, I will help you guarantee it when the time comes…” “

Really? That would be great! Mr. Shi, thank you. !”

“Okay, don’t be polite to me anymore when it comes to this. Okay, I won’t tell you anymore. I’ll make an appointment with someone from the auction house to talk in detail. After that, I’ll tell you the definite news.”

“Okay. Okay, Mr. Shi, please go ahead!” Qu Xingye hung up the phone. He knew that his factory must be back. Even if he doesn’t give a penny, as long as Shi Lei is willing to guarantee him, his creditor will give him this money no matter what. Face-saving.

At worst, he just has to pay part of the interest himself.

Shi Lei sent the address and chatted with Song Miaomiao for a while. The takeaway was delivered and a call came from the security guard at the door, asking Shi Lei if he could let the auction house person in.

When he went upstairs and called Fan Dongliu downstairs for dinner, Shi Lei also heard the doorbell.

“Hello, Mr. Lai, please come in.” Shi Lei opened the door and let people in with a smile.

The visitor’s name was Lai Yijun. He walked in with a smile and said, “Mr. Shi, this house is really nice. I wanted to buy it at the beginning, but I didn’t catch up. There were only nine houses and they were sold too fast.”

“Mr. Lai If you didn’t tell me earlier, if the market is not open, I can ask the developer to leave a set for you.” “

Haha, Mr. Shi and Mr. Wei have a close relationship, but I dare not bother Mr. Shi.”

After entering the door, Shi Lei asked Lai Yijun introduced Song Miaomiao and Fan Dongliu. After greeting them, they went to the dining room together, poured wine and started eating.

“I originally thought it would take a lot of effort to convince Mr. Shi, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Shi would change his mind with just one sentence.” Lai Yijun put down his wine glass and went straight to the topic.

Shi Lei said with a smile: “I was indeed a little careless. The main reason is because this jadeite does not belong to me alone…” He told Lai Yijun about the situation of the jadeite, and then said: “Where’s Mr. Qu? In the past few years, I had lost my composure and owed a lot of money. As a result, someone took the factory to pay off the debt. Seeing that the repayment deadline was approaching, I was also anxious for him. So, I am afraid I still have to be unkind to Mr. Lai. Please.”

Lai Yijun understood as soon as he heard this. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Shi Lei, and said, “Master Shi wants to use this piece of jade to mortgage a sum of money at our auction house?”

Shi Lei waved his hand and said, ” Mr. Lai, we are already familiar with each other, so don’t use these official words. That’s what it means, but you can’t say that about mortgages. After all, jade is different from works of art. It itself has a clear market value. . It’s not that I don’t trust your company, but after all, it’s… haha… and when urgent matters arise, Mr. Lai must also understand this truth.”

Lai Yijun smiled and said, “Master Shi said, I It must be done beautifully, otherwise, if my sister finds out, she won’t scold me to death? However, after all, we are just an auction house, and our cash capacity is really limited. We don’t have much funds on the books. Can I ask? , Master Shi, at what price do you plan to set the unsold price for this piece of jadeite?”

“Two hundred million!”

Lai Yijun pursed his lips and said, “The risk is not small. If the auction fails, the commission will be paid at 200 million.”

Shi Lei smiled and said, “I’ll bring the jade to Mr. Lai Take a look, and you will understand that 200 million yuan is actually not risky.”

After hearing this, Song Miaomiao stood up and helped Shi Lei take out the jade from the safe, and when he placed it in front of Lai Yijun, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“What a good thing! This is definitely something that can be passed down from generation to generation! Mr. Shi, I have no problem. The reserve price of 200 million for this piece of jade is not exaggerated.” “

So, Mr. Lai?” Shi Lei looked at him with a smile.

Lai Yijun said: “Well, let me ask how much money is available in the account.”

After that, Lai Yijun stood up and went aside to make a phone call. He came back soon and said, “Let’s do this. I will charge you three dollars in commission.” As for the buyer, I won’t disclose it to you. You give this piece of jade to our auction house, and I will give you 80 million in cash. Mr. Shi, our company’s cash capacity is really limited. This 80 million , I personally want to put in half of it, which is basically my limit.”

Shi Lei thought for a while, he only needed 20 million, and the remaining 60 million was given to Qu Xingye, which was enough to meet his urgent needs.

“Okay, then as Mr. Lai said, I hope we can have a happy cooperation.”

Lai Yijun laughed and said, “Happy cooperation!”
